Well, I found the boat/project I said I was looking for. 1986 Skeeter Starfire 90 with 75 Mariner. I still don't have a picture hosting service, so if y'all want to see it, I'll add a link to my facebook page. There is a small hole in the deck that I will have to attend to. Some re-wiring and new lines, fresh fluids in the lower unit and probably clean the carbs and new batteries. Wish me luck! I'm sure I will be on here bugging y'all to help me figure out how to do stuff.

welcome to the brother hood of boat ownership, lots of pain and misery, occasioned with short bursts of euphoria!!!


COMING SOON! .. THE STICKLE HOOK " the stay level sickle hook". sits level in the water with all knots.! Provides better hook sets and more natural jigging motion. No more adjusting the knot, gluing , or tying loop knots that cause the hook point to tangle in the loop, or worse knick the line.. The jighook that will make all others obsolete !

congrats and gig em Kenny


Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

Thanks y'all! Been outside this morning tinkering. Taking the battery out, cleaning out the bilge, trying to figure out some way to re-deck without having to pop the deck cap off, but looks like to do it right, that is what I'm gonna have to do. Otherwise, I'll can dig out what wood I can get to, and cut a couple of pieces of plywood to go under the deck. Just don't like that idea. And, I think my foam is shot. Off to sweat some more. BTW- Good catch one the Lyle Radtexan!

True, Mark. Homer (my fishing mentor) always says he's never seen a boat catch a fish, but I want it to be safe and last. I just removed the fuel tank and the deck under there is shot too. The seat mount is gone, and all of the foam is pretty much toast. I don't think it will be too bad. I have more time than money or sense, so I think I'm gonna pop the top. I got such a good deal on this boat, that if I get too far into it and decide to quit, I'll get all of my money back parting it out.

get on smugmug.com its pretty cheap and works very well for pics.

or talk to your Internet ISP..you already have a free homepage space
And use donation-ware called Jalbum that works really well for making a picture gallery.

you got the makings of a good boat redo and learning story.

Thank y'all!
I just signed up on 'photobucket' so now I will work on how to link it up. I may just link up to my facebook album, that is pretty easy.

Your title reminds me of what my brother used to say
when someone told him that.
He'd say "This ain't no time for Romance we got work to do".
